Tim Robbins (Howard The Duck and Green Lantern)

Tim Robbins is a multi-talented man. The American is an actor, screenwriter, director, producer, activist, and musician, and has starred in some truly fantastic and diverse films, including Bull Durham, Jacob’s Ladder, The Player, The Shawshank Redemption, and War of the Worlds.

However, before those success stories, he appeared in the terrible Howard the Duck in 1986. A man of his obvious talent – even at that early stage of his career – should not have been wasted in such an awful movie. He played Phil Blumburtt, a man who tried to help Howard return to his home planet.

Even more inexplicably, he appeared in a minor supporting role as Senator Robert Hammond – father of the villainous Hector Hammond – in 2011’s dismal Green Lantern movie. It’s surprising that the star accepted the role, given how terrible the movie’s script was, and he was totally wasted in the small role, anyway.
